With a targeted launch of spring 2022, CBMM’s Lead Shipwright Joe Connor has taken the new Maryland Dove from idea into reality. In this session, Connor will highlight important milestones and review important design and build choices to craft a vessel that blends historical authenticity with modern U.S. Coast Guard standards for passenger-carrying vessels.
About Maryland Dove: A Symposium on Memory and Meaning
As the new Maryland Dove nears completion, this series will consider the transition from the current vessel built in the 1970s to a modern reproduction based upon decades of research. This series will consider the legacy of the iconic tall ship, as well as the future of the new vessel.
